Police in Canada say three people have been arrested in connection with a massive maple syrup heist from a Quebec warehouse, which put a dent in the global supply.

Quebec produces up to 80 percent of the world's maple syrup.

Meilleur sirop d’érable ... Ohio ... They are not too fussy about exactly what sap they are using and a bit of the poplars and persimmons give their product une certaine piquance.

Add-in:

4. Lack of higher taxes of “the rich”.

Do you by chance remember the brand name?

I’ve always bought online from Vermont:

Quality, not quantity. From what I’ve read, it’s a lot of work to produce a gallon.

Just a guess; were their names Ricky, Julian and Bubbles?

Lucy and Sarah were their gang mols, know what I'm sayin', bro?

Eastern Townships (SE of Montreal) in the Province of Quebec produce some of the best maple syrup in Canada. This region is immediately north of VT & NH which also produce excellent maple syrup. I’m originally from eastern Canada and as a young boy helped in the gathering of sap from the pails on maple trees, this sap, basically colorless, is boiled down & becomes maple syrup. Great stuff.

Good memories to cherish.

Only Ricky will be going to jail.

“Tap a sh*t-house, you get sh*t syrup”, as Mr. Leahey might have said.

It was Epler's Maple Syrup from New Albany, Pa., which is about 12 miles south of Towanda on Rte. 220.

The boys would not be interested in a heist of maple syrup. They deal in cigarettes and cannabis.

[Uncle Chip]

I wonder if they recovered the maple syrup and if this will bring the cost of my pancake syrup down.

[Carriage Hill]

Thanks! They’re having a server problem now, but I’ll drop them a note about their products.

[Carriage Hill]

That’s a LOT of product volume to lose, so it’s bound to make a dent in prices, one way or another.

Towanda, Pa. is just up the road from me on Route 6. Out here, Route 6 is known as Long Beach Blvd., Figueroa St., and San Fernando Rd.

And everyone will know
Because you done told the blabberin’ trees
Yes you did, ya told ‘em once before
So that’s why it ain’t no secret anymore

Why tell them all the old things
They’re buried under the snow
Whispering grass, don’t tell the trees
‘Cause the trees don’t need to know
